Immigrant Muslim families continue to cling to traditions that come from both their former culture and from Islam. One report claims that there have been over 3,000 honor attacks in Britain alone.

In the USA, honor attacks or killings are rarely identified as such by the media. It isn’t ‘politically correct’ to single out domestic violence that might be attributed to Islamic traditions here. The major media is concerned about a rise in so-called Islamophobia and does not want to add to it even with the truth. Whether it is murder or ‘honor killings’ it is against the law and the same with domestic violence no matter the excuse. *Top
